You'd have to
#include <cstdlib>
In case you need this for multithreading purposes, see also Joachim Pileborgs answer.
In any case, maybe use one of C++'s new RNGs, which you use in form of objects and that have guaranteed sequences.

According to this forum thread you should be able to use rand without needing to worry about reentrancy when using VC++.
